Packages with (possible) problems in their site-init files
require, load, or load-library statements
From elisp-common.eclass: Commands as “load-library” or “require” bloat the editor as they are loaded on every startup. When having a lot of Emacs support files, users may be annoyed by the start-up time.
There is also bug #174469 as a tracker for these issues.
The following packages have unconditional require, load, or load-library statements in their site-init files. It should be checked if this is necessary, of if it could be replaced, e.g. by autoload.
Note
If a pre-generated autoload file is distributed with the package, it may be necessary to remove and regenerate it, since it may have been made by a different Emacs version.
If a pre-generated autoload file is distributed with the package, it may be necessary to remove and regenerate it, since it may have been made by a different Emacs version.
Should be fixed:
require, load-library, etc. should be replaced by the following:
- cedet
- work in progress
- ocaml-mode
- intermediate solution only, uses
eval-after-load - fixed upstream Caml bug 4429, but name of hook functions changed, so site-file must be updated for next version
Cantfix / Later
- bbdb
- INSTALL and Info say that
(require 'bbdb)is mandatory - Previous versions had autoloads, this doesn't work in 2.35 because of keymap errors
- crypt++
- Documentation says: Do not bother trying to autoload this package; it uses find-file and write-file hooks and thus should be loaded the first time you visit any sort of file.
- Furthermore: Other packages that append to `write-file-hooks' should ![...] be loaded before this one. Should the number of crypt++'s site file be increased?
Status unknown – to be checked:
- blogmax
- semi
- sumibi
